Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 38 University
Yan Hui waited here for only three minutes before the foreman ran out and called Yan Hui to go inside.

"Why did Mr. Li ask you to meet Mr. Wang? What's the matter?" The foreman had come to his senses.

Yan Hui frowned slightly. He really didn't know how to answer the foreman's question. Don't underestimate the foreman's question, and don't underestimate the foreman as a person.

how to say?

Tell the foreman to deliver the materials yourself?
You can say this to Mr. Wang, but not to the foreman.

Moreover, Yan Hui didn't know the relationship between Mr. Wang, the foreman, and his second brother! His second brother hadn't told him!

Logically speaking, the person my second brother met with yesterday was the foreman, so there must be a connection between the two of them. But...

How do you say that?
You need a reason to come here! Besides, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li both have phone numbers, so if they need to pass on a message, they don't have to make a trip.

Can you only pass things on?
During this period of time, it would be wrong for Uncle Li to pass anything to Mr. Wang. He could only do the opposite.

"Hmm," Yan Hui pondered for a few seconds, "Boss Li told me to get something from Boss Wang, but he didn't say what it was."

There is definitely nothing wrong with what Yan Hui said, because Mr. Wang is the foreman's absolute leader. Even if Yan Hui comes out empty-handed, the foreman certainly won't dare to ask what Mr. Wang gave him. Asking this is a big taboo!
"Haha, so that's it, um." The foreman forced a smile, but he was not angry. He just thought that the kid was quite interesting.

In reality, given his position, what did he not know? It was just that out of habit, he always wanted more symmetrical information.

Soon, Yan Hui saw Mr. Wang at the door of the house and was warmly received by Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang's house is not decorated at all. It is just a prefabricated steel house on the construction site. It is a mess inside, but the tea table is very exquisite and looks like it is made of a whole piece of wood.

Yan Hui didn't know much else, but he knew about wood. He knew that this was a kind of rosewood, but he had to ask Lao Guo how much it was worth.

"Sit down," Mr. Wang asked Yan Hui to sit down, then he sat down himself and poured tea for Yan Hui.

Mr. Wang was different from the foreman. He never mentioned what happened yesterday again. He was just enthusiastic about Yan Hui and didn't involve anything else.

"Mr. Wang, I'm here for one thing. Mr. Li asked me to bring you some wood parameter materials." Before saying this, Yan Hui looked around and asked, "Mr. Wang, is it convenient to talk here?"

"That's convenient." Mr. Wang nodded.

"Well," Yan Hui took out the envelope and handed it over. "I'm responsible for this matter. I don't know anything else. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"No hurry, no hurry," Mr. Wang said with a big smile as he took the envelope and put it aside. "This tea is pretty good. Have some before you go."

Yan Hui didn't understand all the polite etiquette. He took a sip of the hot tea and put it down. "Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'll be leaving now."

"Yeah, okay. I have something to do at noon. You can have a quick lunch with Xiao Bao and the others before leaving."

"Okay, Mr. Wang." Yan Hui said goodbye to Mr. Wang and opened the door and walked out.

Only after going out did Yan Hui realize that the tea in his mouth was fragrant, hmm, green tea.

He took a few breaths, calmed himself down, and looked up to see the foreman waiting for him ten meters away.

The foreman did not come closer, but waited for Yan Hui to calm down for a while before walking over.

"Are you done?" The foreman didn't ask what was going on inside. "Does Mr. Wang have any instructions for me?"

"No." Yan Hui shook his head. He could tell that Mr. Wang's last words were just a polite remark; he still had that ability.

"Okay, do you have any urgent matters at noon? If not, I can arrange it. Don't mention it, brother." The foreman was a little more enthusiastic than before.

"Uncle Bao, I really have something to do. I'll definitely come next time!" Yan Hui declined again.

"Okay, we'll have more opportunities to meet in the future." The foreman said with a smile. Since Mr. Wang mentioned his last name as Bao, he still treated Yan Hui as his own.

As for the context in which President Wang would mention him, the contractor could guess it with his ass, but since Yan Hui was busy, he would wait until next time.

After leaving the construction site, Yan Hui returned his safety helmet, waved goodbye to the foreman, and got on his bicycle.

"Are you leaving? Going to the university?" Lao Guo asked. "How's it going?"

"It's done. I have to go back and tell Uncle Li about Mr. Wang's attitude just now."

"Yes, that's what we should do." Old Guo didn't think Yan Hui's behavior was unnecessary at all.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Lao Guo. Let's go to the university cafeteria at noon and I will treat you to meat." Yan Hui was not stingy at all at this time.

"Haha, okay." Lao Guo did not refuse.

On the way back, Yan Hui and Lao Guo continued to talk about this matter.

"A rosewood tea table? That's not normal. Big bosses are all in fashion with this now. It's standard equipment. If you don't have it, you'd be embarrassed to call yourself a boss." Lao Guo explained.

"So how much is this thing worth?"

"I don't know about that. I haven't seen what you're talking about. These things can cost one or two hundred yuan, or even tens of thousands. Some are antiques from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and each one has its own price." Old Guo thought about this and shook his head. "But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much they pay."

"Yes, it's not important." Yan Hui didn't really want to know the price, so he nodded and said, "I'm just asking casually."

"But, let me tell you about this," Lao Guo, who hadn't discussed this with Yan Hui before, suddenly felt like discussing it today. "The country's economy is clearly changing year by year, and there are plenty of opportunities ahead. But there's one thing: the redwood we work with will definitely become increasingly popular and more expensive as economic growth continues."

"Rosewood is already so expensive, how many people can afford it? Rich people have always been a small group, right?" Yan Hui was a little bit unbelieving.

"You will definitely be able to afford it in the future, and maybe all the beds in your home will be made of mahogany." Old Guo said confidently.

"Okay, I hope what you said is true." Yan Hui laughed, but thought Lao Guo was talking nonsense.

No matter how rich you are, you can’t do these things. They are meaningless and can’t even make a living! Haha!
"You'll know later. In short, redwood definitely has a future."

"Okay, then when I have money, I won't buy the rosewood for myself first. I'll invest in you to open a rosewood shop."

"Okay." Lao Guo agreed casually.

Yan Hui's physical strength is obviously better than Lao Guo's. After returning to his second brother's side, Yan Hui didn't feel tired at all. Instead, Lao Guo went to the convenience store to buy something to eat.

"You're back so soon? Are you done?" The second brother was a little uneasy at first, but he felt relieved when he saw Yan Hui.

"Well, Mr. Wang took it very naturally," Yan Hui said, "I said it was document material."

"Well, when doing business, we have to act like business. We have to show our professionalism, and sending some materials is inevitable. This way, next time there is such a thing as signing a contract and sending materials, you will go." The second brother smiled and patted Yan Hui's shoulder.

"Just leave it to me, Uncle Li, don't worry." Yan Hui was no longer panicked at this time.

"We agreed that you were going to have a day off today, but you made another trip just for me," the second brother said, pulling out 20 yuan from the drawer. "Find a place to eat lunch by yourself. I won't worry about you." "Huh? No need, Uncle Li. Didn't you pay me for the past five days?"

"We agreed to take a vacation with your wages. You've done extra work. Take it."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Yan Hui accepted the money without hesitation. Now he had enough money to treat Lao Guo to lunch at noon.

"Go ahead." The second brother said with a smile.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"You say." The second brother looked serious.

"Mr. Wang poured me some tea. I took a sip and it was green tea, probably Longjing." Yan Hui's family only grows tea. Although he doesn't understand other things, he can still distinguish tea leaves.

Don't underestimate any skill. If it were the tea at home, Yan Hui could not only accurately taste the variety, but also roughly know its value. Yan Hui couldn't be 100% sure whether Mr. Wang's tea was Longjing, but he was sure it was green tea.

"He likes to drink Longjing tea? Okay, that's good," the second brother said, his eyebrows raised with joy, "Xiaoyan, I trust you to do the work."

Yan Hui didn't expect that this matter would receive such a good evaluation from his second brother, and he felt a lot more at ease.

"By the way, speaking of tea," the second brother said, taking out another 20 yuan from the drawer, "it seems that you know a lot about tea. Go to the restaurant at noon and order a pot of tea. It's my treat."

"Ah?" Yan Hui didn't expect his second brother to be so considerate, but he quickly took it anyway, "Thank you, Uncle Li!"

"go Go."

An hour later, in the cafeteria of the University of Technology.

"No, Old Yan, why are you pretending? There's nothing wrong with treating us to a meal at a university cafeteria, but you also want to order a pot of tea?" Old Guo looked at Yan Hui and felt that Yan Hui was too pretentious.

This kid usually doesn't even want to order mineral water, so why is he leaving it here?

Ask the cafeteria lady if there is any tea here? Order a pot of tea?

You're such a good pretender! You even show off to your friends at university!

Yan Hui really didn’t know… He saw so many things in the university cafeteria, how could he know that tea was not allowed here?

However, Yan Hui will definitely not treat us a second time in the short term. Not only is there no tea here, he won’t order it next time!
"Eat yours," Yan Hui said a few words, "Even eating meat can't stop your mouth?"

"Why are you trying to stop me?" Lao Guo refused to give in.

Half a year later, Ma Junliang has become much more mature than before. When I first met Ma Junliang, he had only been in school for half a year and was very immature. Now he has a bit of the temperament of a college student. After all, he is already a senior.

Yan Hui and Lao Guo both respect knowledge and talent. They were very curious about Ma Junliang's affairs. After joking around, they kept asking questions.

In the eyes of Yan Hui and Lao Guo, it is impossible for them to go to college, but they can hire college students in the future!
Nowadays, bosses who employ many college graduates are considered powerful and prestigious! But don't think this is useless. For business people, these can reflect the degree of trust others have in you.

"We have already gone to the factory at the beginning of this semester, and we will also visit the Fengtian Mechanical and Electrical Factory next week. Do you want to go? If you do, I can take you with me!" Ma Junliang mentioned.

"Can we go for a visit?" Yan Hui was curious about everything now.

"I work for the student union at school. This kind of thing is quite normal. Many teachers even bring their children to visit. It's not a secret organization anyway."

"That's great. What's the date?"

"Next Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, just go to the south gate of the Mechanical and Electrical Factory. I estimate that there will be more than 200 people attending. Just follow me."

"Okay." Yan Hui immediately agreed.

"If we go together, will we be able to see clearly?" Lao Guo said with some worry.

"If you don't have time to go, I'll go by myself." Yan Hui said immediately.

"I mean, should we bring Old Wu and Old Song along? They'd probably want to see it too."

"It's all fine," Ma Junliang said without any concern. "When the time comes, anyone who is at the South Gate can follow me in and take a look. Just don't run around."

"Okay!" Old Guo was happy now.

We've been around a lot, and we like anything new, especially this kind of machinery factory. It doesn't matter if we can understand it or not, it's definitely beautiful.

"Will this cause any trouble or danger?" Yan Hui was a little worried.

"The electromechanical factory is huge, but they won't let us into the production workshops to visit, as that would disrupt production. They have an exhibition hall that displays various machines and mechanical principles. We've contacted them, and they can accommodate up to 500 people. We only have a little over 200, so it's more than enough. I heard from a senior that last year a teacher brought a five-year-old child and they got into the exhibition area, and no one scolded them. Your friends are about the same age, right? As long as they don't cause trouble, it's fine."

"That's great." Yan Hui nodded. Machining is inseparable from wood processing!
While chatting, everyone finished their meal. Ma Junliang took the two of them to the playground. There were many students there, some exercising and some sitting on the lawn to rest.

"This is college, it's great," Lao Guo said with emotion, "but why are there so few girls?"

"There are more men in the Industrial University, which is normal. If you go to the Medical School, you won't see any men." Ma Junliang explained.

"That's not necessarily true. I have a childhood friend who went to a medical school." Yan Hui said with a smile.

"Then this kid's intentions must be impure," Lao Guo immediately added.

"He used to be a doctor in the village, but he probably went for further studies because his skills were too poor," Yan Hui was referring to the third brother.

"Then I don't believe it either." Lao Guo insisted.

The three of them walked around the playground, and their bloated stomachs soon felt less bloated, so they left the playground and entered the school.

Because it was the freshman season, Yan Hui saw some people setting up tables and chairs outside to recruit people, so he became curious and asked about Ma Junliang.

"This is the Student Union recruiting new students," Ma Junliang said. "Right now, the calligraphy club and music club are the most popular."

"Music club?" Old Guo immediately looked at Yan Hui. "You can do this. You're a recognized singing god!"

"Ah?" Yan Hui was also happy when he heard it.

"This is only for students of this school. Outsiders cannot join." Ma Junliang explained quickly.

"Oh, oh, oh, I won't join. I'm just chatting." Yan Hui immediately changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, I'm going to the calligraphy club to see how well people write."

"You also know calligraphy?" Lao Guo was a little skeptical.

"I don't understand this, I'm just taking a look." Yan Hui thought of Qu Xiaoqin. That girl's handwriting was really beautiful.
